This scatterplot visualizes the 2016 U.S. presidential election results at the county level, plotting each county as a point based on its vote totals. The x-axis likely represents the percentage of Democratic votes, and the y-axis the percentage of Republican votes, with each point colored or positioned to show the margin between the two parties. The visualization uses D3 v4 with an SVG rendering to display over 3,000 counties, making it easy to spot regional voting patterns and outliers. The data comes from the included CSV file, which provides vote counts and percentages for every county. Hovering over a point could reveal the county name and vote details. The scatterplot is useful for comparing county-level voting behavior across the United States, revealing clusters and trends in the 2016 election results.

USA 2016 presidential election

This visualization maps the 2016 U.S. presidential election results at the county level, coloring each county according to the margin of victory between the Democratic and Republican candidates. The map is rendered with D3 v4 in SVG, using data from a gist by almccon that includes vote counts, percentages, and per-county party differences. A diverging color scale is applied to counties based on their per-point difference, making Democratic-leaning and Republican-leaning areas visually distinct. The choropleth highlights the geographic distribution of voting patterns across the country, from densely populated urban counties to vast rural regions, and uses a legend to communicate the margin scale.

USA 2016 presidential election

This choropleth map shows the 2016 U.S. presidential election results by county, coloring each county by the percentage of votes received by the Republican candidate. It uses D3 v4 with `d3.geoAlbersUsa` for the projection and `d3.geoPath` to draw SVG paths from a TopoJSON file of U.S. counties. County-level vote data from a CSV is joined to the map via a lookup table keyed by FIPS codes, and a linear color scale maps vote percentages from blue through purple to red.

Us 2020 elections by county

A choropleth map of the US 2020 presidential election results by county colors each county on a red-blue diverging scale based on the margin between Democratic and Republican votes, with state borders overlaid in white. Hovering over a county updates a detail panel showing the vote percentages and a horizontal bar comparison between Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The visualization uses D3 v4 with `d3.geoAlbersUsa` and `d3.geoPath` to render TopoJSON county boundaries from the US Census, while `d3.scaleSequential` with `d3.interpolateRdBu` handles the color encoding. Data comes from The Guardian and USA Today.

US Election Data Scatterplot

This scatterplot displays US House election results from 2008 to 2020, plotting each candidate’s vote count against the total votes cast in their district. The x-axis shows total votes, while the y-axis shows candidate votes, with overlapping semi-transparent circles revealing density patterns. The visualization uses d3.v6 to load CSV data from a GitHub gist, parses rows with numeric fields, and renders points via SVG circles scaled with d3.scaleLinear. Axes are generated using d3.axisLeft and d3.axisBottom, with the chart sized to the full window.

2016 US Vote Totals

A scatterplot displays total votes per U.S. state in the 2016 election, with each state represented by a circle positioned by its vote count on the y-axis and state name on the x-axis. The visualization uses React to render SVG elements, with D3 v6 scales and axes handling the layout. Data comes from a CSV file of county-level election results aggregated by state. The chart employs `d3.scaleBand` for the categorical x-axis, `d3.scaleLinear` for the numeric y-axis, and a `d3.scaleOrdinal` color scale, though the fill is currently disabled.

USA 2012 presidential election proportional circles (d3v3)

This example uses proportional circles to visualize the results of the 2012 US presidential election at the county level. Circles are placed at each county’s centroid, with their radius scaled to the total number of votes cast, while the fill color encodes the Republican vote share using a blue-purple-red gradient. Counties are layered over a light gray map of the USA, created using the Albers equal-area conic projection via `d3.geo.albersUsa()`. The code loads county boundaries from a TopoJSON file and centroid data from a GeoJSON file, then uses `d3.select` and `d3.scale.sqrt` to generate the SVG circles.

US 2012 elections by zipcode

This interactive map shows the 2012 US presidential election results by county, visualized as a zoomable choropleth. The color of each county path reflects the difference between Democratic and Republican vote percentages, ranging from blue to red. Users can hover over counties to see details and click to zoom. Built with D3 v4, the visualization uses `d3.geoPath` and a custom `d3.zoom` handler to render topojson county boundaries. Election data is sourced from The Guardian.

USA 2012 presidential election (d3v3)

This choropleth map visualizes the results of the 2012 U.S. presidential election by county, using SVG rendering. County-level vote data (Obama, Romney, other candidates, and winner) is encoded as colored polygons, with fill colors derived from the winning candidate and margin of victory via a categorical or sequential color scale. The visualization is built with D3v3 and TopoJSON, with the map geometry loaded from a TopoJSON file.
